"Laughter is the unfailing salve, the right antidote to false proportions," writes Paul Roche. "[Plautus] made comedy what it is today. He inspired the farce, the burlesque, the slapstick from the third century B.C. right down to A Funny Thing Happened on the way to the Forum." Roche's translations of Amphitryon, Miles Gloriousus and The Prisoners clearly illustrate how Plautus' writing has withstood the test of time. These images of our all-too-human foibles are familiar faces in modern mirrors - even after 2,000 years.
